I am thinking about getting a tower for my work - just cant run what I need to out of a laptop

BUT I am trying to figure out how I would tour (fly) with the monster and wondered if anyone had a system that was working well for them

the ownly thing I could find was this case but I was hoping for a less expensive option... (retail about $450)

if you cut the top and bottom bevels/handles off of a G5 with a 

skillsaw/dremel they will fit oh so snugly into a standard audio rack 

Tekserve in NYC will do this for you, but it will cost $$$. They add 

rackmount points though, to screw the G5 in to a portable rack. You 

can do this yourself, as I know someone who has done it in the past. 

G5s look so pro on their side in a rack. Seriously, do it. :)

I make my own touring cases out of Storm Cases (I like the latches 

better than Pelican, and storm cases are reasonably priced) and buy 

sheets of closed cell foam and then cut them to fit my gear. I've never 

toured with a tower, but have flown with lots of other electronics, 

including laptops and so far have had great luck.

and buy them without the pick and pluck open cell foam (which will get 

Then get uncut sheets of the closed cell foam here:

Ends up in total being around $150 or so a case.

Andrew Pask is also making his own cases right now, he is a believer in

if you are just about to buy it, why not buy a new, intel, macbook???

I sometimes have to cerry the G4 tower (much lighter than the G5) and 
this is a real pain...
